NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES

 

Our forecasted annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) at March 31, 2020 was 23.6%, as compared to 22.7% at March 31, 2019. The slight increase was primarily due to changes in permanent book-to-tax differences for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, our ETR was 23.6% and 18.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ending March 31, 2020 is a result of favorable discrete items from the comparable prior-year period that are not recurring in the current period.
